NY Day, NYE, Hair Color, Dollar Christmas Tree, Protection, and Swamp Soup

Good morning and 

WELCOME 

to a new year.

Think I might work on 

taking down all

my Christmas decorations...

the tree and the lights

on the porch.

Problem doing that, I did take

most of my Halloween

stuff down, only its still

on the porch, I still gotta

gather it all up and pack it up 

also. I know, that is terrible

and so not like me to do,

Did you do anything special 

for NYE?

Me, yep, I moved from the end of 

the couch to the center of the 

sectional. Had a glass of peach wine,

lights off, tv on, Christms lights on

and my girls near me.

Best NYE!

On the health update.

Two weeks ago I had a vit B

shot, took four days and I 

finally started to tell a little

difference. However, there was 

an issue with the script of iron.

According to the message from 

the nurse, posted to the portal,

from the doc, a script of iron 

was being called in. Doc appt

was on Wed. but by Friday before

Christmas it had not been called in.

I checked again Monday, nothing.

I started trying to contact the doc

office but due to holidays, 

people taking off, parties..

I left several messages via 

the portal and the phone.

FINALLY, Monday of this week,

I got a message that the script had 

been RESENT. I automatically thought,

"you mean sent for the first time".

Sorry, I try to not be that way, but 

with my experience with health care since

2023, how could I not think that?

ANYWAY, still laying around but

I can tell a difference. I got two 

loads of laundry done yesterday.

Maybe the new year is starting to look

up...maybe.

Now, I have no clue why I denied the truth

that I saw every morning when I looked

in the mirror, 

I am not gray!!

And it is time to do something

with the thinning on top. 

I have been debating on a topper,

color is a problem though. Tried a silver

gray only to realize, that was not the color.

I came up on a color called

silver white.

What do you think?

Better match then the ones

with gray in them, cause my 

salt and pepper went all 

salt.

 

I turely like the pepper in 

there best!!

But it all went away.

I am thinking that I might be way

ahead of you all on 

Christmas shopping!

HAHA, for 2026!

I was out on Dec. 29, and I bought

some fridge magnets. 

You see, for Amber, Caleb/Triniti and

Brayden/Hannah, I make them up 

boxes of Hodge Podge stuff.

TP, cleaning supplies, magnets,

soap, toothbrushes and etc. 

I also get Amber bigger things

for the house, send Cory

and Britney money.

and the two couples that get

the Hodge Podge boxes get

some money too.

This yr. I taught myself how

to origami fold a 20 into a 

Christmas tree, and put it in with 

a Christmas card.

The other night I made a 

Witches Bell, you hang them

on the front door for protection.

Today however, I am not

doing much of anything.

I did two loads of washing yesterday,

as to not have to do it today and 

wash away my good luck.

But, I think I am going to cook..

DON'T FAINT!

 this is what the recipe calls for..

• Sausage– Andouille sausage sliced into coins and then halved
• Butter– Unsalted
• Onion– Yellow onion, peeled and diced
• Canned goods– Seasoned collared greens, drained corn kernels, seasoned drained pinto beans, hoppin john, and diced tomatoes with green chiles
• Cajun seasoning– Your favorite kind
• Chicken broth– You can substitute stock if needed

but this is what I will

be using -beef smoked sausage

turnip greens 

black eye peas and maybe some

pintos, diced tomatoes and 

corn.

Cajun seasons 

and beef broth.

Do you believe in those ole wise

tails, eating certain foods, 

blowing cinnamon in the door,

not doing chores and things like 

that?

I try.

lol

Have a great day,

Pam
